Indulge yourself with Pilates & cake on your retreat, in the lovely Somerset countryside

It's time to step out of the hum drum of everyday life & concentrate on YOU (for a change)

No cooking, no cleaning or worrying about anyone else. This is all about YOU.

 Totally relax. Move, feel & look better with daily Pilates.

Wallow in 'me time' in this lovely 17th century converted barn & grounds.

Nourish your body with locally grown delicious food, with hearty homemade lunches, dinners , snacks (yummy cakes) & puds.

Take a dip in the hot tub, or the onsite pool, which is for the retreats exclusive use, or sit in the secluded gardens and listen. There's no noise except the cluck of the chickens, cackle of the geese & neighs of the resident 'bosses', Shetlands Whizzy & Little Rosie !

Let yourself enjoy your surroundings fully.

Have fun with the wine tasting , get out into nature when Whizzy & Little Rosie show you the nearby fields & tucked away lanes. Relax in the evenings with your favourite wine if you wish (you're welcome to bring your own).

Snooze away in the beautiful bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.

Leave feeling great, restored, re-energised, completely nourished and ready to get back into your daily life.

This is a ladies only retreat, suitable for all ages & abilities.

It doesn't matter if you're new to Pilates, come along, relax and have some fun.

And relax you're nearly here

Just follow the winding lane

Pilates & cake weekend retreats are a bit different to your normal retreat, there's no umming & ahhing here or sound gongs.

Now is the time to re-balance your life & Let go of your stress.

Put yourself first for a change.
